You ever noticed how people who believe in Creationism look really unevolved? You ever noticed that? Eyes real close together, eyebrow ridges, big furry hands and feet. "I believe God created me in one day" Yeah, looks like He rushed it.

What do you think?

Ok, so don't get too mad at me if I'm wrong, but recently I read in the bible that Jesus descended into Hel and ascended into heaven when he died. Why would he go to Hel?? I know he went to heaven but why was Jesus in the underworld for even a minute?? Could someone please explain this to me?? Thanks!

The saying goes, "You know you've read a good book when you turn the last page and feel a little as though you lost a friend."

How do YOU know when you've read a good book?

Between the years of 1959 and 1994, Zeus smote 3239 people in the U.S. alone, and none of them believed in his existence.

Doesn't this prove that you should believe in Zeus just in case to avoid the infinite pain of his lightning bolts?

Here are the statistics on Zeus's smitings:

Many muslims are always criticizing the "cultured" Muslims because they practice Islam based off their culture. Islam is still an Arabic religion coming from Arabic culture, so is that the reason why any other person from any other culture should try to be an Arabic inorder to be considered a real muslim.

And many people say that it is because God wants it that way and it is for a purpose ?
Well I REALLY wonder why God has given me this situation in life ?
So what do you think ?

And no, it's not the Bible. If I get enough "real" answers, I will trade any atheist to read your book for one of mine. For example, if the majority of you recommend Dawkins, I will read one of his books if all that recommended it will, in good faith (no pun intended, lol), read a book I recommend. Since I don't know which book I will be reading, I will hold off on telling you what you will be reading until later. Once again, it will NOT be the Bible. I will tell you either in an e-mail (to those that allow it), or I will post it in the Comments section after I close this question.
Does that sound fair? What say y'all?

Have a great night!

A) Hell is a place for the very bad people (the wicked), therefore, everyone else (you and me) will go to heaven.
B) Heaven is a place for the very nice people (the holy), therefore, everyone else (you and me) will go to hell.
C) Neither of the above is true.

I have heard that on the news in Australia, "Ho ho ho" is no longer acceptable because it is degrading to women.

I have also heard many people throw words around like "You're gay".

An NBA coach called some girls "Hoes" and later explained that "There's a difference between bitches and hoes. Hoes is a good thing".

Why is it a bad thing to explain our differences, such as "Black and Asian people have better rhythm"?

Let me know what you all think--too PC or not enough? If you have any research, please list that as well--I am considering this as a speech assignment.

I have been fighting this certain sin for quite a while now. I used to have a problem with it before I was saved, then it went away and now that I am a Christian it is trying to attack me like crazy. I feel like I am in a constant cycle of commiting the sin and repenting and then commiting the sin again. I am to the point where if I don't commit this sin, my mind tries to come up with reasons that I should and I pray to God for help with tempation, but eventually I give in. God has made it so that this sin no longer appeals to me, but for some reason I still do it. What is wrong with me? Does this happen to many Christians and how can I fix it?

If you want proof of these religions, ask a pastor, or better yet, PRAY TO GOD HIMSELF! What is so hard about that? And also, why do you non-believers encourage Christians to not believe in our religions? WHY.......and if you say something very rude, I'm ashamed of you.

Besides the Mass and the technical stuff, are there societal and personality differences between Catholics and Protestants (non-Catholic Christians) in the USA in any real sense? I know Catholics tend to divorce less and stick out bad marriages, for example. Anything else?

If religion is taken away from the world, would there be less killings or would killers find another excuse to act out on their human nature? Would people find something else to fight about?

Are humans really that primitive, aggressive? Can't we all just get along and be civilized? Or are our primordial primitive urges too strong to domesticate?
